Perkasie Murderer Of 3 Turned Down For Parole Briefly

It was the third time in five years that Storck, formerly of Perkasie, has been turned down for release by the board. The 44-year-old inmate has been in prison since 1968.

"He's a cold-blooded killer who would kill again if he got on the loose," said Bucks County District Attorney Michael J. Kane, who appeared before the Pardons Board Oct. 10 to argue against the parole.

Storck was convicted of the murders of John Brickajlik, 72, his wife, Mary, 71, and grandson, William, 11, during the Thanksgiving weekend of 1967. Police also alleged that Storck stole $23,000 from the Brickajlik farm.

The convicted killer is serving three life sentences in the state Correctional Institution at Dallas, Luzerne County. He had previously applied for paroles in 1981 and 1983, claiming that he had taken up electronics while in prison and would pursue a career in that field if released.

Kane said Storck will next be eligible to apply for parole in 1987. He suggested that the board change its rules so the public can be protected from the possibility that inmates like Storck could be released so soon after being turned down.

"Every time Storck applies for a parole, a portion of Upper Bucks is traumatized by the thought of Storck getting out," the district attorney said.
